Setd5 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable methylated histone binding activity; protein-lysine N-methyltransferase activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including regulation of DNA-templated transcription; regulation of chromatin organization; and regulation of synapse assembly. Predicted to be located in euchromatin and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Rpd3L-Expanded complex and Set3 complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 23. Orthologous to human SETD5 (SET domain containing 5).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Setd5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
